Hazed copper pour with an off-white head. Caramel and brown sugar sweetness to the aroma. Pine, orange peel, and grapefruit hop notes balance the sweetness. The flavor is fairly sweet and malty. Lots of caramel and brown sugar. Good pine and grapefruit bitterness with some more fruity citrus notes to it.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours very dark - but held to light there’s a lot of garnet in it - decent creamy beige head. Aroma is mild cat piss - but there’s some roasty malt and arguably pine too. Full bodied cause of the creamy carb. Flavor is roasty malt with a heck of a lot of citrus and resin. Fact is, the feel is actually kind of like a hoppy barley wine - but there’s too much hop for that. Point: it’s not harsh - it’s smooth - but it’s hoppy enough to stand up as a NW hop bomb IMHO. Curl up around one or two of these, and go to bed. Excellent ale.

Bottle... Clear copper ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head that never completely dissipates. The aroma is a mélange of caramel, toffee and earthy, peppery hops. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and airy carbonation. Nice balance of sweet caramel malts, moderately tart acidity and modest measures of tannic and floral bitterness. Finishes bittersweet and tangy. Bottle courtesy of newcigarz!
